Hazaribagh Sadar subdivision is an administrative subdivision of the Hazaribagh district in the North Chotanagpur division in the state of Jharkhand, India.
During the period of Muslim rule, the thickly forested plateau area was ruled by big estates such as Ramgarh, Kunda, Kendi, Chai and Kharagdiha. With the East India Company acquiring the diwani of Bengal, Bihar and Odisha in 1765, it derived the right to collect revenue from the estates of Ramgarh, Kharagdiha, Kendi and Kunda. After the Kol uprising in 1831, the British changed the administrative structure of the area. The parganas of Ramgarh, Kharagdiha, Kendi and Kunda were made a part of the South West Frontier Agency and formed into a division named Hazaribagh with Hazaribagh as the administrative headquarter. In 1854 the designation of the South West Frontier Agency was changed to Chutia Nagpur and it began to be administered as a non-regulation province under the Lt. Governor of Bihar.[1][2]

Konar Dam
Konar Dam, located 41 kilometres (25 mi) south-east of Hazaribagh, was the second of the four multipurpose dams, built by the Damodar Valley Corporation, in 1955.[7][8]
Coalmining
Coalmining started early in this area. Gidi was an old mining centre.[9] Many of the other mining areas that were earlier a part of the Hazaribagh Sadar subdivision subsequently became parts of new neighbouring districts on their formation. New mining areas are coming up around Keredari and Barkagaon.[10][11] As of 2021, five operational areas of Central Coalfields Limited were located partially in this subdivision: Amrapali & Chandragupta Area with Chandragupta open cast project coming up as a major project, Barka Sayal Area, Argada Area, Kuju Area, and Hazaribagh Area.[12][13][14][15][16]
